Actually, there is one better if you are using Thunderbird: right-click on a thread and select Ignore Thread. Simple, yes? :-)
And then you also have (on the top taskbar) under View>Threads you have more options to play around with. Darn good mail client, Thunderbird! :-).
+1 Thunderbird has a few other advantages, being highly configurable, if you are willing to take the time and effort to step though the menu items and options. it can be set up to bottom-post replies as default. It can also do what I've just done here, what I usually do. You use the mouse to highlight the areas of the parts of the message you want to reply to so that you don't have to include the whole thing, only replying, as the etiquette guidelines suggest, to the relevant parts. Failing that, the default editor makes it easy to delete the TL;DR parts with a mouse-swipe. If you are really really really bothered by the embedded editor then there is a plugin that lets you use an external editor of your choice, VIM, GVIM, EMACS, PICO, whatever. Basic rightly points out failing to place a tight focus, to leave extraneous stuff around in your replies making it a TL;DR or simply and awkward to read or awkward to follow the chain of discussion is a communication failure that can easily be rectified. Probably the best technology feature, available in Thunderbird as well as every other mail reader, is, as basic says, the delete button. It also seems to be the least used. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
